Publisher's Synopsis
Wilhimusk, Sordon - 1189 SE Two decades after Nialla's climactic battle with the Crows of Mireaderal, the world outside her village at Wilhimusk is a large and distant place. Danger mixes with harmony on humanity's frontier, where beasts and monsters continue to dwell and prey upon the unexpecting. A thousand years ago, Icurian-the Exiled-spoke a promise to a dying race. Even after those events have long passed, some fair few remain to remember his words. And one who is determined to make sure that promise is kept by the last heir to hold that burdening mantle.
